Formation of Complex Organic Molecules on Interstellar CO Ices? Insights from Computational Chemistry Simulations

The carbon ( ^3 P) atom is a reactive species that, according to laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations, condensates with interstellar ice components. This fact is of uttermost importance for the chemistry in the interstellar medium (ISM) because the condensation reaction is barrierless...
